Telehealth Effect on Show Rate in Neonatology Follow Up Clinic: A Prototype Model
This prototype study evaluates the impact of telehealth on reducing no-show rates in a neonatology follow-up clinic using a randomized quasi-experimental design, while assessing the feasibility of a future comprehensive intervention. Targeting a reduction in no-show rates from 25% to 15%, the study …

Development of a prototype model for optimizing silvicultural investment on a diverse forest ownership in central Maine
This research project developed a prototype model for optimizing silvicultural investment on an industrial ownership in central Maine. The model was based on the Model I harvest scheduling formulation of Johnson and Scheurman (1977). The linear programming based model incorporated a choice of three …
